Promotions for England, Wales and Northern Ireland and two stunning results maintains Scotland's division A status for now.
Amid the commotion surrounding the FA's appointment of England's third foreign manager in Thomas Tuchel, it was easy to forget that Lee Carsley's men had an important job to do to ensure promotion back to the top tier of the Nations League.
England have flattered to deceive at times under Lee Carsley but at their clinical best against promotion rivals Greece and against a distinctly average Republic of Ireland.
Ollie Watkins made a rare start ahead of Harry Kane against Greece and took his opportunity with both hands, scoring the first goal after just seven minutes. The second goal came from a Bellingham shot which hit the woodwork and then deflected off Greece's horribly unlucky goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos. Curtis Jones scored a wonderful flick on to make it three, marking a terrific England debut for the Liverpool midfielder.
England hit five in a rampant second half against Republic of Ireland, Harry Kane scoring the first from the penalty spot after Liam Scales brought Jude Bellingham down in the box which cause Ireland to lose one player. It was plain-sailing from there with goals from Anthony Gordon, Conor Gallagher, Jarrod Bowen and Taylor Harwood-Bellis on his debut.
Wales were promoted to division A, after holding Turkey to a goalless draw and then emphatically dispatching Iceland 4-1 in Cardiff through a Liam Cullen double as well as goals from Brennan Johnson and Harry Wilson. Wales have experienced a renaissance under Craig Bellamy playing impressive, possession-based football. Bellamy is now unbeaten in a record six games as Wales manager.
Scotland have avoided automatic relegation to division B after Andy Robertson's dramatic, last-gasp header to beat Poland 2-1 in Warsaw.
Scotland have avoided automatic relegation to division B after Andy Robertson's dramatic, last-gasp header to beat Poland 2-1 in Warsaw. Scotland had look set to be demoted back to Division B after collecting 3 back-to-back defeats. However, a 0-0 draw with Portugal in October was followed a 1-0 victory over Croatia last week and then the heroics in Warsaw mean Scotland now face a play-off with Greece next March to maintain their division A status.
A draw with Luxembourg was enough to see Michael O'Neill's Northern Ireland side promoted to Division B marking their highest position in the competition and the Home Nations' best collective performance in the Nations League since its introduction in 2018.
